Page History

This page is for providing clarity around what to do when a missionary in initial MTD is considering a change in MTD. That change may be how many hours they are putting towards MTD, a change in employment hours, pausing MTD efforts for a time, being released to assignment before reaching 100%, and more. The following outlines the roles and individuals who may or should be involved in the changes that are being considered or made.

Missionary in MTD

Employment changes should be thoughtfully and prayerfully made. If the missionary is considering employment changes that are being influence by Covid-19, fear, anxiety, etc. Then those changes should be discerned, prayed over, and discussed with their supervisor and when appropriate the Program Team Leader.

Coach

You can help the missionary process what changes they are considering by asking questions. However this is not an area for you to give advice in.  Do not give employment advice. The missionary needs to discuss any potential employment changes with their supervisor. If the changes are more drastic, are related to Covid-19, or have a concern attached such as "is Reliant ok with this?" then the Program team leader must be included in the communication about that decision.

Supervisor

Should be in conversation with the missionary about the MTD efforts and any potential employment changes the missionary wants to make.

Program Team Leader

The Program Team Leaders are Mike Swann- Collegiate/ GCM churches, CJ White- US churches and ministries, Cori Crawford Van Oss- International, Matt Elkins- Fixed Term/ 100 UPG.

They should be included in conversation on any missionary employment changes that are more drastic, are related to Covid-19, or have a concern attached such as "is Reliant ok with this?"

Paperwork

Not all but most employment changes require a ministry change form to be filled out. You can find that here.
